Infant/Toddler Specialist Network Technical Assistance Opportunities

Infant/Toddler TA Opportunities

Are you looking for ways to build the quality of infant/toddler (I/T) care in your state, territory, or tribe? Are you an I/T early childhood policymaker, leader, stakeholder, or teacher? Are you looking for training and technical assistance (TA) on how to improve the quality of I/T care? If you said yes to any of these questions, the Child Care State Capacity Building Center (SCBC) Infant/Toddler Specialist Network (ITSN) has many TA opportunities for you to consider.

Community of Practice Opportunities

ITSN will be hosting four Communities of Practice (CoP) focused on strategies to support quality I/T care. Each CoP will focus on a different topic and will meet remotely once a month for a total of six sessions. These CoPs will promote the sharing of ideas and strategies to support solutions and innovations focused on infants and toddlers. Participants will have input on the meeting schedule, session content, and goals. Interested participants and state, regional, or tribal teams can register for one or more of the infant/toddler CoP kickoff meetings being offered. See the following table for more details, including registration links.

Hot-Topic Webinars

Join ITSN on the third Wednesday of each month from 1:30–2:30 p.m. Eastern Time (ET) for a series of 1-hour hot-topic webinars. These webinars will do the following:

¨ Raise awareness about particular topics or issues.

¨ Provide related resources.

¨ Inspire continued conversation, topic exploration, and further action.

See the following table for more information about each webinar and links to register. Note: Participants and teams can register for as many of the CoPs and hot-topic webinars as they desire. However, participants must register for each event separately.
